The most close compile condition is

version(assert)
{
     // build for testing
}
else
{
     // build for release
}

see https://dlang.org/spec/version.html#predefined-versions:

"assert	Checks are being emitted for AssertExpressions"

And at the same time

https://dlang.org/dmd-linux.html#switch-release

"compile release version, which means not emitting run-time 
checks for contracts and asserts. Array bounds checking is not 
done for system and trusted functions, and assertion failures are 
undefined behaviour."
